BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to: an electrophotograph; an image forming method for visualizing an electrostatic image; and a magnetic toner for toner jetting.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] In recent years, an image forming apparatus has been further requested to have a high-speed process and long-term high reliability in addition to high definition, high appearance quality, and high image quality. A reduction of toner particle size and a sharpening of a toner particle size distribution have been attempted to achieve a high-resolution and high-definition development method. However, when the particle size of toner is merely reduced, dispersibility of a internal additive into a binder resin is apt to affect toner performance.
[0005] In particular, in the case of magnetic toner having magnetic toner particles used for a one-component development method in which a reduction in size of an image forming apparatus...
